Friday January 19,1906 VEHICLE WRECKED A few days ago Mr. HOOD, of Duchembegarra, drove out to one of his paddocks to look at some bags of wheat. He left the horse and trap on the road in charge of a boy while he went into the paddock. The flies were troublesome, and in shaking it's head the horse, which was a medium draught, shook the winkers off. It then bolted, but had not gone far when the buggy axle between the wheel and body struck a tree. The boy was thrown violently between some stumps, but he miraculously escaped injury. The trap was wrecked excepting the wheels, the wood and iron being broken and twisted into all sizes and shapes. Only a few days before the accident, Mr HOOD had brought the buggy home from Mr. R. C. WOOLMER'S, freshly done up, and the pieces of the buggy now lie in the same shop. WEST WIMMERA MAIL WEB SITE www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/goroke/index.html Daryl Crabtree Gladstone C.Qld Australia
